From the days working at Pappasito’s restaurant in San Antonio, to life as an ESPN host living in Los Angeles, Beadle has always represented the Silver and Black whereever she’s located.

The “SportsNation” host took some time recently to discuss her loyalty to the Spurs, dating a Hollywood actor after moving to California, the plan to help name Kawhi Leonard as a starter in next month’s NBA All-Star Game and more in this week’s Off-Topic discussion:

It’s been a long time since we last spoke, what’s new?

Honestly, nothing (laughs). I’m just sitting here quietly getting through things, and I’m noticing more and more people talking about San Antonio (Spurs). Actually, before you called I saw someone on Twitter yelling at Jemele Hill, basically saying please stop talking about the Spurs because we almost lost a game since you guys started talking about it. I just sort of laughed.

Head over to ExpressNews.com to get the rest on Michelle talking Spurs haters, Kawhi as an MVP candidate, and the old Popovich vs. Phil Jackson question.
